UK Employees Can Check in With Their Financial Well-Being
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 29, 2021) — As National Financial Literacy Month comes to a close, University of Kentucky employees have the opportunity to explore the many available benefits for their financial well-being.
Enrich, a free online platform, allows users to discover their money personality. Through a series of guided questions, you can understand the “why” behind your financial decisions. Enrich then recommends specific videos with more information plus additional tips. You can also browse Enrich’s content about myriad financial topics, including planning for retirement.
New this spring, Enrich also offers the opportunity to consult with a financial expert. The Enrich team is staffed with financial education professionals who have been trained and certified to provide you with guidance and counseling on the tough financial decisions you face every day — at no cost to you.
Enrich financial counselors are available to talk through your challenges with you and discuss potential options you may have, making sure you know the pros and cons of each. If necessary, they can also help lead you to the resources you need to make a wise financial decision. You can call any time 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday, or you can make an appointment for a financial counselor to call you.

Finally, UK's retirement savings plans are among the most competitive anywhere. The university intends to return to a 200% match on retirement savings beginning July 1. If you would like to check in on your retirement savings, you can always schedule an appointment with your retirement vendor, either Fidelity or TIAA.
